It has 4 or 5 different chess engines, Crafty, Comet, Doctor?3, Fritz 5.32, and Fritz 7, the last doen't load for some reason! Nor, does the 3 dimensions work on my Pentium III 600 MHz. Neverthless, it enables one to play rated games in a very human-like manner, unlike the CHESSMATER 9000 series, which would blunder a piece and then play at Master level to compensate!
